6www.howdens.com

Please read and follow these installation instructions

carefully to correctly install your dishwasher.

• After unpacking your dishwasher, check for any

possible transportation damage.

• Never install and use a damaged dishwasher. If

your dishwasher is damaged contact your supplier.

• Always have your dishwasher installed by a

suitably qualiﬁed person.

• Any repairs or service work on this dishwasher

should only be carried out by a LAMONA Authorised

Service Agent.

• Unauthorised repairs are dangerous and will lead

to the cancellation of your guarantee.

• Make sure the electricity and water connections

are in compliance as stated in the Installation

Instructions.

• Do not install or use the appliance where the

temperature is less than 0°C.

Positioning the dishwasher

• Place the dishwasher in an area where dishes can

easily be loaded and unloaded.

• Place the machine close to a water tap and drain.

Take into consideration that the connections will not

be altered once the machine is in position.

• Do not handle the machine by its door or its control

panel.

• Leave an adequate distance around the machine

to allow ease of movement when accessing.

• Ensure the water inlet and outlet hoses are not

squeezed or trapped and that the machine does

not stand on the electrical cable.

• Adjust the 4x feet so that the machine is level

and stable. The machine should be placed on ﬂat

the machine will not close properly.

Water connection

We recommend ﬁtting a ﬁlter to your water inlet

supply in order to prevent damage to your machine

due to contamination (sand. rust, etc.) from indoor

plumbing. This will also help prevent yellowing and

deposits forming after washing.

Important: Faults with the machine are

often caused by the water ﬁll and water drain

hoses being kinked or blocked.

Ensure the ﬂow of water to and from the

dishwasher is not restricted.

• The program duration may change according to the amount of dishes, the water temperature, the ambient temperature and

selected additional functions.

• Values given for programmes other than the eco programme are indicative only.

• Eco programme is suitable to clean normally soiled tableware, that for this use, it is the most efﬁcient programme in terms of its

combined energy and water consumption, and that it is used to assess compliance with the EU ecodesign legislation.

• Washing tableware in a household dishwasher usually consumes less energy and water than hand dishwashing when the

household dishwasher is used according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
